Description Of CF18-T Tungsten Shielded Container

CF18-T Tungsten Shielded Container is a specialized transport and storage vessel designed for safe handling of high-energy radiopharmaceuticals like F-FDG (FluoroDeoxyGlucose) and other PET isotopes.  The top is locked by means of a fixed joint (bayonet lockup). The lockup is equipped with an O-ring seal that ensures perfect tightness. CF18T shielded container is also equipped with a built-in handle to enable easy transport.

Features Of CF18-T Tungsten Shielded Container

1) Advanced Tungsten Alloy Shielding

Material: High-density tungsten alloy (18-19 g/cm³) for superior gamma/beta radiation attenuation.

Shielding Performance: Blocks >95% of 511 keV gamma rays (typical of ¹⁸F) with optimized wall thickness (~10-15 mm).

Weight Efficiency: 30-50% lighter than equivalent lead containers, reducing user fatigue.

2) Design & Safety

Secure Locking Mechanism: Leak-proof lid with silicone gaskets to prevent accidental exposure.

Ergonomic Handles: Facilitate easy transport while maintaining safe distance from radioactive sources.

Regulatory Compliance: Meets IATA/IAEA Type A package standards for radioactive material transport.

3) Vial Compatibility

Holds standard 10-30 mL nuclear medicine vials (e.g., FDG, ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE).

Optional inserts for multi-vial configurations (e.g., 2-4 vials per container).

4) Durability & Maintenance

Corrosion-Resistant: Tungsten's inert properties prevent degradation.

Easy Decontamination: Smooth surface allows quick cleaning with alcohol or disinfectants.

Applications Of CF18-T Tungsten Shielded Container

PET Radiopharmacy: Transporting ¹⁸F-FDG from cyclotron to imaging centers.

Clinical Sites: Shielding during dose draw-up and patient administration.

Research Labs: Safe storage of high-activity isotopes (e.g., ⁶⁸Ga, ⁸⁹Zr).
